TL;DR: In this paper, a support with a porous layer of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) was used as a barrier against intermetallic diffusion between the palladium membrane and the metallic support.

TL;DR: In this article, three porous barriers between the palladium membrane and the sinter-metal support were applied as porous barriers to prevent intermetallic diffusion, and the final membranes were characterized by light-optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), capillary flow porometry, in terms of the adhesion of the membrane layer, its gastightness, and by hydrogen permeation measurements.

TL;DR: In this article, the size of the pore-mouth was measured by modifying the conventional bubble-point method, which measures the size at the narrowest position at a pore tunnel.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model biogas mixture is studied for generating clean hydrogen by using an inorganic membrane reactor, in which a composite Pd/Al 2 O 3 membrane separates part of the produced hydrogen through its selective permeation.

TL;DR: In this article, a membrane reactor housing a composite membrane constituted by a thin Pd-layer supported onto Al 2 O 3 is utilized to perform methanol steam reforming reaction to produce high-grade hydrogen for PEM fuel cell applications.
